Review! Polo Ralph Lauren Mini Bellport Bucket Bag

 

Happy Monday! It's another new week, and we are closing in on the end of January. Now I have not reviewed a bag in a long time, and I have a few coming up. Starting off with this gorgeous bucket bag. I've tried the Mansur Gavriel Mini Mini Bucket Bag a couple of years ago and while I loved the size, I did not love the stiff leather. Ever since then I've been looking for the perfect bucket bag.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. 



I've never purchased a bag from Ralph Lauren before. I've always looked at them but none of them ever seemed to fit my style. Just on a whim, I recently checked their website to see what new bags were available and knew the moment I saw this mini bucket bag, I had to order it. For one thing, the price is only $298 versus $465 for the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. Secondly, the color Cuoio is the perfect classic brown that will never go out of style. It's so saturated and rich with contrasting stitching which I love.

The shoulder strap is adjustable and I have it on the shortest setting. Even on my short stature the bag hits perfectly at my hip. The size is quite generous for such a small bag. If you can fit everything you need in Lululemon's Everywhere Belt Bag, you'll have no problem with the size of this bag.


Let's see what fits. I've got my Chanel pouch, Icebreaker mints, Quay sunglasses, Gucci card case, Alexander McQueen key holder and Peeps eyeglass cleaner.

Inside is lined with suede and it definitely does smell like leather. I personally love the smell of new leather. I wish someone can bottle it up in a perfume for me. I can fit everything in the bag including my iPhone 12 Pro with room to spare. The bag is very lightweight, it doesn't even weigh one pound.



I love the minimalistic look and feel of this bucket bag. Here are some close up photos. The leather is so buttery and soft. The hardware is brass and I just love the white stitching. There is a small logo on the bottom of the bag, and it's just imprinted on the leather, so it is barely noticeable. 



I've already used this bag for a couple of weeks and the leather is breaking in nicely. On the back of the bag it looks like a scratch but it's just the variation in the leather. Even so, I think scratches will add more character to the bag. There is a drawstring leather tab where you can pull to cinch in the top and it's very easy to use. 



This is the perfect petite bucket bag and I can't recommend it enough, there are no flaws that I can find. Right now this bag comes in two colors. The Truffle brown is on sale for $199. It's a steal. This also comes in a suede and embossed croc as well.

  3. that's a cute and casual bag you can use a lot! I usually like bags with zippers so things don't fall out. I've never tried bucket bags

    1. I definitely prefer zipper bags, but the bucket bag is actually a lot of fun and super easy to use. Do have to be a little bit careful that you don't turn it upside down. LOL.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed
